In its exhibition, the House of Artisans is showcasing works that reflect on the cultural narrative of Emirati crafts, tracing their development through a contemporary lens.
The works by eight Emirati artists find novel ways of applying age-old Emirati craft techniques.
Local handicrafts reflect a nation’s history and culture which can make it a great tool to portray the story of the UAE and what it has to offer on the global scale.
